Thank You, Bret

I pray that President Barack Obama's interview with Fox News' Bret Baier is replayed repeatedly on Fox News Channel and circulated widely on the Internet for all to see. The more who watch it the more people will realize just how drastically the unscripted Obama varies from his projected image as God's gift to bipartisanship, compromise, congeniality and democracy.

What came across most glaringly was that there is little he wouldn't do to force Obamacare on us, from lying to evading to concealing to abusing the legislative process to violating the Constitution to dividing the nation. Consider some highlights.

Baier asked Obama whether he would support the use of the "Slaughter Rule," which would deem the bill passed so as to avoid an actual up-or-down vote. Instead of answering the question, Obama mouthed his tired talking points about his plan, most of which were just outright propaganda. He said that his plan would reduce deficits and that costs would decrease for small businesses and families because they would be in the same type of pool congressmen have. But there's not a chance in Hades that any ordinary American would have such a Cadillac plan.

For starters, in counting costs, I'm sure he's not factoring in hidden costs, including taxes. In addition, care would be rationed. Is it for congressmen? People wouldn't have choices congressmen have and would be forced, eventually, out of their private plans. That's what would happen under the Senate bill; who cares what would happen under some fictionalized scenario Obama promises under his plan? He has none. This is maddening.

Obummer is a trainwreck when he is off the teleprompter.

On Brian and the Judge this morning, Bret said that he was called by the White House on Monday for the Wednesday interview and told he would have a short interview (the alloted time turned out to be fifteen minutes).

I've always thought Bret was great. Fair, personable, professional with a sense of humor. I think the White House chose him because they thought he'd a) have too little time to ask tough questions, b) be too nice to ask tough questions or c) be overpowered by Obama the Obnoxious.

How'd that work out for ya, Axelrod?

Bret Baier for President (Laura Ingraham said she saw a bumper sticker that said that this morning)!

Bret did a great job of exposing Hussein for the sham that he is.

I heard some excerpts on Hannity’s program this afternoon. Bret did a great job. He’s a very humble guy. I like his style :)

Baier deserves this year’s Cy Young Award. He had Barry swinging at the air like one of Algore’s broken down windmills.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

Mail must be inspected for anthrax.

Contact congressional aides.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.

Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.

KEEP THE CALLS UP! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

I’ll have to watch it again, can’t understand why so many folks think it was a win for BB. To my ears it was just two guys talking over each other, not finishing sentences, not finishing thoughts, not answering questions, not really discussing anything. BB might as well have been talking to a squawking parrot.
And if a parrot had hollered “Hawaiian earthquake,” I could understand not noticing or challenging it. That and a few other whoppers were allowed to stand.
Also, if 0bama won’t give a yes or no answer about the deem-and-pass gambit, all BB had to do was say, “Then you approve of the deem-and-pass.” 0bama would have to say something. “Despite the Constitution.” 0bama would have to respond to that.
Keep it simple. Subject, verb, and maybe another 5 or 6 words per sentence. If he won’t give a clear answer, you give it, and make him agree or deny it. How hard is that?
Instead, we got a lot of crosstalk and noise.

Don’t even mention the name of Bill O’Reilly!!! He fawns all over anti-American POTUS Barack Hussein Obama. There comes a time when men and women of honor and love of country must choose sides, and....Bill O’Reilly has sided with the American hating Obamas and their Democrat ilk!!!

I was disapointed with the interview. We never found out what Obama found to be enchanting about serving in office. We need another hard hitting interview by the New York Times.
